After much prayer and study, we have decided that is best to not have Vacation Bible School at Christ Church this Summer. We did not feel that we could provide adequate spacing needed to keep everyone safe and still provide an experience that would feel like VBS.
As an alternative to VBS, we will offer “Movie Night at Your House!” Each week, we will send a movie suggestion along with age-appropriate questions about Christian themes that are in the movie, and discussion pointers for parents/guardians. And the best part… the movie suggestions will be coming from other families just like yours! Meg has started polling families about their favorite movies and where they might see God in those movies. Watch your mail (both USPS and email) for more information.
We will be emailing coloring sheets, crafts, song ideas, and maybe some stories periodically throughout the summer. These will be way more fun to do at your house than standing 6 feet apart from someone in the churchyard! There will also be prizes along the way.
And if VBS music was one of your (or your child’s) favorite parts of the summer, Meg has put together a Spotify playlist you can access here.

Beginning Sunday, June 14th, Ann Bustard will offer a study of If there’s anything I can do: What you can do when serious illness strikes by Josephine Hicks. This is a down-to-earth and very practical guide for anyone affected by serious illness, especially care-givers of loved ones.
The book is full of pragmatic tips and techniques for care-givers, patients, family and friends. The information will enable them to act in the most helpful and loving ways possible. There is excellent advice about what you can say and what you should not say to patients and care-givers.
Because of social distancing, there will only be eight in-person spaces available. These spaces are reserved for those without online video conferencing availability. Please call the Ann (252.670.7772) to sign up if you wish to be included. The class will be available via Zoom for discussion and recorded for future viewing. Hand-outs will be available in person & online.
In person participants are asked to meet in the Pelletier Room On June 14 at 9:30 a.m. Contact Ann Bustard at anniebee28562@yahoo.com or 252.670.7772 for more information.
The book is available on Amazon (here).
